Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms
Next off the musical ramp, we have Joachim Raff, born on the 27th of May, 1822, in Lachen, Switzerland. Very much of the Romantic style of composer (which I confess, I usually avoid), I found myself watching the manuscript as it played in this video, and my fingers were 'finding the keys'! A brief listen to a couple of other items was pleasing to the ear, so I may go on to listen more to this chap's works.

Continuing this mini-exhibition of the Edinburgh painter's works, I think you will have no trouble recognising this great landmark, the Forth Rail Bridge. An iconic feature of the Scottish landscape for some 160 years, there have been many renditions and depictions, but this is as good as any. I know this angle well, viewed from South Queensferry, looking across the Firth of Forth towards the north, and Dalgetty Bay.
